kafkaesque nightmare of using furballs for software.
Let me repeat:
I'm not suggesting that you try and make it work if it doesn't "out of the
box".
I'm suggesting that you try and see if it does. (And drop it if it
doesn't.)
And, as I had made it quite clear, the problem is in the "getting it out
of the box".
If the "getting it out of the box" was to be so that people could easily
"get it out of the box", and make it work "out of the box"' then it
would be installable and upgradeable, using package installation.
If it is to be designed to discourage use, by making it difficult to get
working, then , so be it.
This thread is going nowhere.
I asked for the software to be provided as a packge, that could be
installed and upgraded using system package management, for ease of
installation and upgrading, and I have been "told to "get stuffed" ".
That is it - end of story.
There is no point in this thread continuing in the "to-ing and fro-ing".
